Andrew Frankham was trolling a small skirted lure north of the river mouth. A big hit unloaded line at a rate of knots. An hour and 10 minutes later this 28.7kg big-eye tuna was boat side. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqkeWb5_GlQ

Michael Malloch was gobsmacked when this estuary cod hit the surface near the boat. He had no idea of the size other than it was a “Big fish” when he was fighting it to the boat. It was released successfully with an extra-large release...

Very big golden trevally for Frank Rystenberg. It was not weighed as it was release but must have been 12-15kgs. Caught on bait from a lump in the Exmouth Gulf and gave him a lot of curry on heavy gear!...

Ryan and the group hold up their unexpected sailfish landed on the west side of Dirk Hartog Island. Absent from the photo was the internationally recognised skipper Francisco Malta, and prize winning photographer John...

Dave Alan’s sailfish big bite last month ended up tangled on another line and both Dave and Sharkman brought it to the boat for a quick photo and release. It was landed using a rod with a Shimano Saragossa.

Bite of the month goes to Shay Maynard. First serious trip out in a boat and landing a fish like this. Great effort for Shay who fought this yellow-fin tuna to the boat by himself. The following day he landed his first mackerel.

Kent Muir wins outright this month with a big estuary cod that took a jig dropped down at the three mile just out from the river mouth. Hooked up on a knife jig using his 2500 size Sustain with 10lb braid Kent had had a lot of trouble on his hands. He had to release...

Here is a spectacular fish caught by Arnie Slabber in Exmouth. The barracuda was hooked by trolling a whole bonito through a bait ball close to the surface. The bonito was in the water for about 30 seconds before the 25kg barracuda nailed it!

Ricardo Raffa had his hands full when he hooked up to this very powerful fighting chinaman cod that went 9kgs. He landing it while fishing out from the Mackerel Islands off Onslow this month. Nice fish Ricardo!
